Change of use of existing C3-residential dwelling to a large HMO-8 person Sui-Generis together with provision of cycle and refuse storage
By reason of the proposed scheme's gross internal floor space being substandard, below 132m2, the proposal is deemed unacceptable, and not to be in compliance with Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021.
By reason of proposed scheme's internal bed space (Bedroom No.5) being substandard, below 8.5m2, the proposal is deemed unacceptable, and not to be in compliance with East London HMO guidance.
Whilst 3 on-site parking spaces are shown, the spaces cannot be independently accessed by occupants of the house. As such, the proposal does not meet Havering's parking requirements and will have an unacceptable impact on parking conditions and traffic congestion in the area. The proposal therefore conflicts with policies 8 and 24 of the Havering Local Plan 2016, and policies T5, T6, and T6.1 of the London Plan 2021.
The proposal would, by reason of the noise and disturbance induced through the intensification of the site's residential use, result in undue harm to the amenity of the surrounding residents. Thus, the proposal would therefore be contrary to Havering Local Plan Policies 7 and 8, and to the objectives of the NPPF, and is deemed unacceptable.
